Signature Membership

In 2006 the Society established the Signature Membership to that artist/member who meets the qualifications of acceptance in the two annual exhibitions.

How to Become a Signature Member

  • Have earned a total of three (3) points awarded by the following system:

  • One (1) point per show for acceptance into the Tri-State Exhibition and half (1/2) point per show for acceptance into the Members’ Exhibition.  At least two (2) points must come from Tri-State acceptances.

  • Be in good standing with association dues and or debt paid in full.

Having qualified for Signature Membership, members who have been in good standing and maintain their annual dues can retain their signature membership status and all the privileges thereof in the event that they relocate their residence out of the tri-state area of Florida, Georgia and Alabama.

Signature Members have the privilege to use “TaWS” after their name.  No other member category is so authorized.
